 Favorite books over the clarinet?
Author: HeatherCG 
Date:   2014-11-20 06:36

I'm talking about anything from general books, technical studies, etude books, and excerpt books. Which ones are your favorites and why? Looking to find information on any of these types of books for various levels of the clarinet from beginner to advanced performer.

Thanks in advance for any direction!

Check out David Pino's book "The Clarinet and Clarinet Playing".

I have dozens of good books but for the fundamentals basic study it's hard to beat "The Art of Clarinet Playing" by Keith Stein

I helped Dave Etheridge in the proofreading of all the books prior to publication. There is an abundance of very useful information along with specific repertoire and excerpts to demonstrate teaching points.

It's a nice culmination and legacy to his excellent teaching style, and I was honored to have helped him.

I "second" the Keith Stein book. A rather amazing collection of thoughtful chapters full of helpful tidbits. I keep going back to it to pick up more details, time and again. OK, the language is a bit "dated", but to me that adds to its charm.

For a comprehensive historcal overvieuw of the clarinet I recommend Eric Hoeprich: "The Clarinet."
